Gender dysphoria is a term that describes a sense of unease that a person may have because of a mismatch between their biological sex and their gender identity.

This sense of unease or dissatisfaction may be so intense it can lead to depression and anxiety and have a harmful impact on daily life.


I don't think Oliver meant it in an offensive way ,and technically it is a condition that the doctor diagnoses . Like I keep saying shouldn't the whole point be to DE stigmatise mental health , anxiety,body Dysmorphia etc aswell as other conditions out there.

There's real life science studies to show that trans people's brains are similar to the opposite gender, so clearly their feelings & what they're going through is very real . I don't think anyone is calling them "straight jacket crazy" .
But people especially these days may suffer with other conditions & issues that they need support with. We need to stop stigmatising struggles as we're all human and should help eachother out.
